FROM THE EDITORS’ DESK: LEADERSHIP
The topic of leadership surfaces in this issue as it has done in world affairs of late. The Man who is God’s choice (1) is both elect and precious. In the world, such a combination is unlikely (and in ultimate terms, impossible). In the biblical setting of God’s spiritual kingdom, there can be no contest in terms of who is fit for highest office. The man whom the world rejects is the man whom God elects (2) This antithesis is a reminder of the long war between good and evil which has our planet as its front lines. It’s good to have God’s long-term goals refreshed in our minds within this issue of the magazine.
Sometimes in the politics of this world, it appears that a candidate’s progress remains unhindered when their baser traits are painfully made visible. How refreshingly different it is in things allied to God’s kingdom where the important and eternal things are unseen. Some of those invisible realities are our focus this year. We will also, God willing, consider certain offices of Christ, along with highlighting the excellent qualities that fit Him for these roles. These were, as we are reminded, beautifully displayed in His life among us. We begin our consideration of them by viewing Him first as gentle and humble. These are not virtues to be prized in this world’s rancorous contests for office! But in God’s upside-down kingdom (which is the right way up really), it seems appropriate that we look at this pairing first, since our Lord’s own famous self-disclosure was in these terms (3). He could have accurately self-identified in so many ways, but He chose these from all the traits He might have selected. We are left to reflect on the significance of that primary way of self-referencing.
While we have no part in God’s elections (nor role to play in the elections of this world either, other than through prayer (4)), we can however work to ensure that our Leader, the best of men, and the great Victor of Calvary, receives the honour He alone deserves from our lives of service. Like the ‘domestiques’ featured in our lead-in article,
